“Depression sucks. It can be undeniably, debilitatingly difficult. Still, there are ways to learn to understand and accept your experience with compassion, while still finding joy in your life and recognizing that the darkness isn’t everything.”
Nicole Rea, MA, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
The Dark Place
Ever feel like you're slogging through mud that just won't quit? That's depression for you – not just sadness but a feeling like every bit of joy has been sucked out, leaving you in a never-ending gray zone.
You doubt your every move, can't see why tomorrow should be any different, and sometimes, just getting out of bed feels like a Herculean task.
But here's the truth: There’s a flicker of fight still in you, waiting to turn back the tide and light up those moments that have gone dark.
